Trump's 'bad hombres' echoes on both sides of the border

Within minutes, the Republican nominee was getting a lashing about his mangling of English and Spanish.

Trump — whose proposal for a wall at the U.S.-Mexico border helped fuel his rise to the party nomination — blamed some "bad hombres here" for drug epidemics around the country, and promised to kick them out.

"Bad hombres" quickly began trending on Twitter.

At a Mexico City barbecue restaurant, an assortment of Mexicans and expats guffawed at "bad hombres."

"I think the way that Trump has talked about Mexicans from the start of the campaign is to call them rapists, criminals, he hasn't changed," Santiago Betancourt said at Pinche Gringo BBQ, where about 200 people gathered to watch the debate. "Trump maybe echoes or uses arguments that exist among an American class that he's betting can make him president. I don't think it's a presidential discourse."

Political commentator Ana Navarro, a Republican who often criticizes Trump, offered a Spanish lesson via Twitter. To some, it sounded like Trump said "bad hambres."
